We write that, with the full path.  That is what led us to the 
wrapper solution:

# su -m -c nagios nagios c 
"/usr/local/libexec/nagios/check_raid_dell"
Can't locate utils.pm in @INC (@INC contains: nagios 
/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.8/BSDPAN 
/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/mach 
/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8 /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl 
/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.8/mach /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.8 .) at
